Could You Last a Month in Poverty?
Walk a mile in the shoes of your students in this unique, interactive poverty simulation that enables you
to live for a “month” in poverty. This workshop promises to be impactful and will include group discussion
about the challenges your students and their families face and how that can factor into your board’s work.
Attending this session is even more important now as we continue to learn about the lingering effects of
the pandemic on our communities. Dinner will be served during this in-depth session.
Saturday • Postconference
2021 Post-Legislative Conference
Join us for the 2021 TASB Post-Legislative Conference during TASB’s Summer Leadership Institute.
TASB staff will highlight new laws from this year’s legislative session focusing on what is required of
school boards and superintendents. The session will feature briefings on all major legislation affecting
public education and highlight issues that may arise during the interim. All Post-Legislative Conference
attendees also will receive a copy of the TASB 2021 Legislative Summary for School Officials when the final
document is published. This essential publication summarizes major provisions of each piece of legislation
passed this session affecting public schools. Breakfast will be served during this in-depth session.
Greetings!
The annual Summer Leadership Institute (SLI) is not only TASB’s flagship training conference—it is also
our learning laboratory. SLI is designed to offer new and experienced school trustees a place to create
their own learning journey and to ask bold questions.
Our members have a choice to attend the SLI that best fits their schedule and location preference—in
San Antonio or Fort Worth. The two events, typically held a week apart, are nearly identical in schedule,
session offerings, and general session speakers.
At the heart of SLI is an opportunity for trustees to make connections with one another. It’s a community
where members gather to work together in our shared quest to improve Texas school districts and
provide students with an exceptional public education.
It is the culture of SLI to support each other and provide examples of what has worked and what
has not worked. We invite you to join us at SLI for this exciting learning journey.
Important news for 2021
We know everyone is anxious to get back to live events. We are, too, but we need to do this as safely as
possible. For SLI 2021, we will have limited access to the live event in both locations to ensure everyone’s
safety. All registrants will need to follow the safety procedures put in place at each location. These will
be sent to attendees after they register. Only preregistered attendees will be permitted in the meeting
space. Onsite registrations will not be available at either location.
If you are unable to attend in person, a fully virtual option will be offered the same weekend as the
Fort Worth conference. After Fort Worth is concluded, all attendees, both in-person and virtual, will
have on-demand access for 30 days.
TASB will send out updates to registered attendees if conditions change that significantly affect the
conference.
